Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common male sexual health concerns, affecting an estimated 1 in 3 men at some point in their lives. It can lead to frustration, anxiety, and avoidance of intimacy — impacting both confidence and relationships.
While behavioral techniques and medications can help, many men seek a solution that addresses the underlying physical cause rather than masking symptoms. Hyaluronic acid injection therapy offers a targeted, non-surgical approach that treats the root of the problem: glans hypersensitivity.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found throughout the body that provides hydration, volume, and structural support. When precisely injected into the glans penis, it creates a natural barrier between the surface nerve endings and external stimulation.
This barrier reduces the hypersensitivity that triggers premature ejaculation, allowing for significantly improved control over ejaculation timing and enhanced sexual satisfaction for both partners.
Studies have demonstrated significant improvements in Intravaginal Ejaculation Latency Time (IELT) — the clinical measure of ejaculation timing. Patients consistently report:
Meaningful improvement in the ability to delay ejaculation, restoring a sense of control during intimacy.
Both patients and their partners report improved satisfaction and reduced performance anxiety.
Benefits are maintained for 6 months to 18 months, with maintenance treatments available to sustain improvement.
Overall improvement in sexual confidence, self-esteem, and willingness to engage in intimate relationships.
Dr. Robbins conducts a thorough evaluation of your condition, discusses your symptoms and goals, and determines if HA injection therapy is the right approach for you. Every consultation is completely private.
Topical numbing cream and local anesthetic are applied to the treatment area to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure.
Hyaluronic acid is carefully injected into targeted areas of the glans penis. The procedure takes approximately 15–30 minutes with minimal discomfort.
The procedure is minimally invasive with quick recovery and minimal discomfort. Most patients can return to normal activities the same day. Sexual activity can typically be resumed within 1–2 weeks.
Hyaluronic acid injections for PE have an excellent safety profile. Because HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body, there is minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Side effects are generally rare and mild, and may include:
Minor swelling at the injection site that typically resolves within days.
Small, temporary nodules at the injection site that resolve on their own, typically within 1–2 weeks.
In the rare event of any concern, hyaluronic acid can be dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase with results in under 24 hours.
With years of expertise in urology and a commitment to patient-centered care, Dr. Robbins provides individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals.
As a board-certified urologist trained at NYU Medical School — not a med spa or general practitioner — Dr. Robbins brings specialized knowledge of male genital anatomy and the precision this procedure demands.

Hyaluronic acid is injected into the glans penis to create a natural barrier that reduces hypersensitivity. By decreasing the oversensitivity that triggers premature ejaculation, the treatment helps delay ejaculation and improve sexual satisfaction.
Topical numbing cream and local anesthetic are applied before the procedure to ensure minimal discomfort. Most patients report only mild pressure during the injection. The entire procedure takes 15–30 minutes.
Reduced sensitivity is noticeable shortly after the procedure. Full results develop as any mild swelling resolves, typically within 1–2 weeks. Improvement in ejaculatory control is generally experienced from the first intimate encounter after recovery.
Results typically last 6 to 18 months. The hyaluronic acid is gradually absorbed by the body over time. Maintenance treatments are available to sustain your improvement.
Side effects are generally rare and mild. Some patients may experience temporary nodules or mild inflammation at the injection site, which typically resolve on their own within days. Because HA is a natural substance already present in the body, there is minimal risk of allergic reaction.
Yes. The HA injection can complement behavioral techniques, topical desensitizing agents, or oral medications for a comprehensive, multi-modal approach to managing premature ejaculation. Dr. Robbins will recommend the optimal strategy for your individual situation.
Men experiencing premature ejaculation due to glans hypersensitivity are ideal candidates. This includes men who have tried behavioral techniques or medications without satisfactory results, or those seeking a non-systemic, targeted solution. Dr. Robbins will determine your candidacy during a confidential consultation.
